A case has been filed against 5,000 BNP leaders and activists over the death of Shaon Ahmed, a man killed during the clash between BNP men and police on Thursday.
Shaon's brother Milon Hossain filed the case with Narayanganj Sadar Model Police on Thursday.
In his case, Milon Hossain alleged that Shaon died due to serious injuries caused by bricks and bullets fired by the BNP activists during the clash on Thursday.
Shaon's family has claimed that he was not involved in politics. On the other hand, BNP leaders claimed that Shaon was an activist of Jubo Dal.
On Thursday, a clash broke out when the law enforcers tried to prevent local BNP leaders and activists from holding a rally near Railgate No 2 in Sadar upazila, marking the party's 44th founding anniversary.
At the time, police fired tear shells and rubber bullets in response to the brickbats hurled at them by the activists, leaving a man killed and 76 others, including policemen, injured.
Shaon, 24, hailed from Narayanganj Sadar, was shot to death during the clash and eight bullet-wounded BNP men were undergoing treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
